OTSEGO LAKE TWP. — A 48-year-old Gaylord woman was lodged in the Otsego County Jail after she allegedly assaulted her roommate, a 46-year-old Gaylord man, by pushing, slapping and scratching him over a period of several days.

Troopers responded around 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3 to an Otsego Lake Township residence after the woman, who troopers stated was very intoxicated, called 9-1-1 Central Dispatch, but because of her alleged intoxication, dispatch could not understand much of what she was saying.

Because of the woman’s intoxication, officers concentrated their investigation on the alleged victim and spoke to him about the incident.

While talking to the man, troopers stated the female subject walked by the victim several times, shaking her fist as if to hit him and blew cigarette smoke in his face.

As a result the woman was transported to Otsego Memorial Hospital for medical clearance. Following medical clearance, the woman was lodged at the jail.
